The Blighted Beak is a community-created miscellaneous item for the Medic. It appears as a bird-like mask that is styled directly after the primitive respirators historically worn by Template:W.

Update history

December 21, 2010 Patch

• The Blighted Beak is added to the Mann Co. Store, made craftable and included in random drops.

December 22, 2010 Patch

• The Blighted Beak is changed from a headwear slot item to a misc slot item.

Bugs

The Blighted Beak has major clipping issues with the following hats:

• Otolaryngologist's Mirror
• Vintage Tyrolean
• Berliner's Bucket Helm
• Spine-Chilling Skull
• Voodoo Juju
• Saxton Hale Mask
• Wiki Cap
• Ze Goggles

An update of the beak, with the clipping issues fixed and the ability to be painted, has already been created for the beak by the original contributors but has not yet been implemented by Valve.

Trivia

• As the Blighted Beak and Le Party Phantom were previously wearable in the head slot, prior to the December 21, 2010 Patch, versions with the unusual quality were obtained through Festive Winter Crates. Thus, it is possible for players who wear both an unusual hat and an unusual Blighted Beak to have 2 unusual effects on their head simultaneously.
• Beak masks, whilst finding popularity in mask parties, originated as a makeshift gas mask for Medieval Template:W. The beak was reputed to be filled with scented materials.
